Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 408

Chapter 406: Real Illusion

At the moment of rushing out of the mezzanine, Thor felt as if he was hit by a beam of black light.

Strangely, he did not feel injured or uncomfortable.

After returning to the second warehouse, Thor did not have time to think about it and immediately rushed back to his body.

After that, he stood up to see Senior Byron who came out in front of him.

But when Thor sat up, he was stunned again.

This… is this still the second warehouse?

All around, there were broken walls and ruins.

If he had not been lying in the shadow of the corner, he would have seen the sunlight falling on the ground as soon as he opened his eyes.

“What happened? How come the wizard tower collapsed in the blink of an eye?”

“Xiao Zao!”

Thor immediately called the Soul Devouring Swamp in his body, but no black tentacles came out to respond to him.

“Penny?”

There were no silver butterflies running around in his peripheral vision.

Thor’s face darkened by three points, but gradually eased up.

“Hallucination? Hypnosis?”

He took two steps forward and stretched his hand into the sunlight.

It seemed to be warm, but it seemed not.

“Could it be the last beam of black light?” Thor thought.

The black light shot out of his eyes hit him but did not cause any damage, but since it was the last killer to stop him and Senior Byron, it must not be completely useless.

Since the attack from the ghost fragments is not energy damage, it is basically mental damage.

“But the scene of this illusion is quite interesting. This group of ghost fragments living in the mezzanine of the wizard tower can actually create an illusion of the collapse of the wizard tower.”

Although he might be trapped in an illusion, Thor was not too anxious. The most urgent task is to find the flaws in this illusion, and then unlock its core based on the weaknesses.

Or force attack is also fine.

Thor walked completely into the sunlight and looked back at the wizard tower behind him.

The floors above the first floor of the wizard tower have completely disappeared. Most of the ceiling of the first floor of the east tower is also missing.

There was only a shadow where Thor was lying before, which just blocked his view upward.

“It disappeared so cleanly, and with the debris on the ground, it can only form a second floor at most. So where did the other parts go?”

Although everything in front of him should be an illusion, finding the logical point in the illusion is also a breakthrough, so Thor carefully observed the surrounding environment and tried to deduce the reason why the wizard tower became what it is now.

“It seems to have been affected by some powerful witchcraft.” Thor walked from the East Tower to the West Tower.

When he crossed the ramp, a lush grass appeared in front of him.

The East Tower was still the same as before, with the ground nearby all flat, and only a hundred meters away did grass begin to appear intermittently.

But the West Tower was different.

Behind a clear boundary line, half-human-high grass grew.

When the wind blew, this lush grass undulated like wheat waves.

But this scene was not beautiful at all.

When the branches and leaves bent down slightly, half a skull was exposed behind the green.

There were many skulls exposed from behind the grass.

Not just one place, not just one area, not just one place…

Some skulls are higher, with a few remaining teeth visible on the upper jaw; some are lower, with only two dark eye sockets visible.

Some skulls are relatively intact, while others have obvious fatal scars.

But no matter how tall, short, fat or thin, or whether they are incomplete or not, they all face the remains of the wizard tower.

Judging from their height, they are either sitting… or kneeling.

Thor walked into the bushes.

The closer you get, the clearer it is.

They are neither sitting nor kneeling.

Under these skulls are rough wooden stakes.

They are neatly arranged and propped up on the grass.

The direction is carefully adjusted so that the eyes of all the skulls are facing the wizard tower.

Such a scene is too heavy even if Thor thinks it is an illusion.

“Who is there?” An old voice suddenly came from the other end of the wizard tower.

Thor was immediately alert and surprised.

It is a good thing that there is a change and a being that can give feedback.

Thor carefully bypassed the skull standing in the grass and walked quickly to the source of the sound.

However, just when he was halfway there, a black-gray ray shot out from the front.

The magic fluctuations were so clear and familiar that Thor subconsciously activated the spiritual armor.

The 0-level witchcraft that hit the undead did not penetrate the 1-level spiritual armor.

But both the attacker and the defender Thor were stunned for a moment.

“The operation of magic is very real.” Thor looked at his hands. Under the control of his spirit body, his fingers quickly became translucent. “And it is very sensitive. I can hardly feel the lag caused by the illusion. But it is also possible that the witchcraft I released myself is not an illusion.”

But this alone cannot explain why the other party’s magic fluctuations are so clear.

Could it be that the other party was also dragged into the illusion?

Thor took two steps forward and saw the person who had just attacked him.

The man had white hair, wrinkles on his face, eyes mixed with starch, and was wearing a black wizard robe. He stood behind a broken wall reluctantly.

After launching an attack on Thor, he stood there in a daze, stretching his neck, as if carefully identifying Thor’s appearance.

“Are you… Thor?” The other party actually called out his name, and was very surprised, as if he had seen a ghost.

And Thor also found a familiar feeling in the other party, as if he had seen this person before, and was quite familiar.

But his memory told him that he had never seen this old wizard.

“You, how come you are here, and still so…young? No, you haven’t changed at all.” The old wizard’s eyes kept sweeping around Thor, and the surprise on his face became more and more.

Thor’s eyes fell on the other’s cloudy eyes, and he could vaguely see that both eyes should have been severely injured.

And the original eyes seemed to be different colors.

“Are you…Haywood?” Although it was normal to see everything in the illusion, Thor couldn’t help but shout out in surprise.

“It’s me.” Haywood narrowed his eyes and walked out from behind the broken wall. “Thor, where have you been all these years?”

“These years? How many years? I remember we just met?” Thor rolled his eyes and said in cooperation.

“Don’t you know? The last time we met was clearly a hundred years ago!”

At this moment, Thor wanted to laugh, but there was an absurd sense of reality.

“Really?” Thor asked, “Do you remember what we talked about the last time we met?”

The old-looking Heywood fell into deep thought. After a moment, he lifted his heavy eyelids and looked at Thor. “You don’t believe it? Haha, it seems that you have been living a chaotic life for the past hundred years.”

Thor raised his right eyebrow, but did not defend himself.

The smile on the old Heywood’s face flashed away, as if his sagging heavy skin could not support such a long smile.

“Although my body is failing, my memory is not as chaotic as yours. The night before we parted, you came to me to borrow Heidi to go to the mezzanine to look for something.” Old Heywood’s eyes passed over Thor’s head and looked at the grass sea corpse forest behind him, and continued to recall, “But Heidi’s condition was unstable and too important to me, so I didn’t agree. I finally lent you a fish, and you gave me a bottle of wizard body transformation potion.”

“Then why didn’t you use it for so many years?” Thor looked at Old Heywood’s skin. Although it was full of wrinkles and dull skin due to his age, it was definitely not grayish white.

“Because I haven’t studied it thoroughly, a rebellion broke out in the wizard tower!” Old Heywood’s face suddenly twisted, and he cursed loudly, with saliva flying far away.

“Those bastards! They betrayed the mentor!”

“They killed Mentor Gorza!”
